Unfortunately I can't remember lyrics, but it played on the radio around those years. It was steady paced with a high male voice sometimes in falsetto singing something about flying or falling. It was kind of heavenly. I think there was a soaring guitar solo as well. I've checked out every list of songs for those years without luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
David Gray and Daniel Beddingfield have both done songs that way...
You could also try Coldplay or Travis or Muse, seeing as their lead singers also have that sort of range.
Was it a popular song? Did the man have an accent? Any other hints on the song type?
Thanks for all the suggestions and sorry for not being more specific.
One reply that seems to have been deleted mentioned Coldplay and I've got a feeling the song might be "We Never Change" from Parachutes. The guitar riff is exactly the same as I remember, but the melody isn't. Could be my memory playing tricks or a different arrangement, or a similar song.
Anyway thanks!
